Internet dating is how many couples meet, but this smitten couple have taken things to a new level.
Erica Harris and Arte Vann fell in love after spending a year chatting on the picture-sharing network Instagram.
After commenting on each other’s poems, images and videos, the pair decided to meet – and tie the knot immediately.
Arte bought a one-way ticket to fly the breadth of America from New York to Ontario, California – a 2,755-mile journey – to meet Erica.
And when she greeted him at the airport, he got down on one knee.
Not ones to wait: they decided to say their vows straight away. Moments later they were wed.

Harris’s Instagram page now says she is married to the “the man of her dreams”. Vann says he is married to “the love of his life”.
The ‘insta-engagement’ and ‘insta-wedding’, as Erica put it, was filmed by CBS and broadcast to the world.
She said: “I believe this man deserves a lot of love, and I want to give him the love he gives me. [Calling CBS] was a present to his mom, because she wouldn’t be at the wedding since we were eloping.’
Posting a picture of the pair together on Instagram, she said: “And here he is, and here we are!! And now…my family is complete. Love you Arte so, so much.
“So very thankful, and so very happy. Namaste, and so much love to all my ig fam…Greatful for you all”
And Arte, the big old romantic, had this piece of advice: “Don’t listen to your thoughts. Don’t listen to your head. Follow your heart. Follow your soul.”
